At Edmund Waller School, we make sure that our students receive an education of the highest calibre that well exceeds the demands of the National Curriculum. Our kids develop into self-assured, inquisitive, well-rounded lifelong learners as a result of their participation in a variety of diverse, stimulating, and interesting activities both within and outside of our community. We have high standards and expectations for each student's learning, accomplishments, and behaviour because we want the best for every kid. We help every kid become more self-assured and foster a sense of belonging, security, and importance in their surroundings. All students' accomplishments are honoured. Our kids receive instruction from a committed, knowledgeable, and energetic staff group. The youngsters put in a lot of effort within the framework of an inspiring topic-based curriculum, growing an understanding of how crucial learning is for their future. Learning is engaging, immersive, and memorable, and nowhere is this more true than during routine educational excursions that are meticulously prepared to complement the curriculum. We offer a variety of engaging extracurricular activities, including participating in our orchestra, singing in the chorus, learning foreign languages, playing basketball, gardening, cooking, and art (to name a few). We take full advantage of the possibilities offered by our expansive property, which has light-filled Victorian buildings that provide for a great place to learn and play.
